OUR STORY

Learn about the Donkey.

Established in 2013

The birth of the Wandering Donkey seems not so long ago. To this day you can still find the original donkey traveling the city streets here in the Valley of the Sun and beyond.

Now, the herd grows again! Its path wanders to North Scottsdale. You will find ‘The Donkey on the western slopes of the McDowell Mountain Range at the crossroads of Bell Road and Thompson Peak Parkway.

The new Wandering Donkey Taqueria & Tequila Bar will exceptionally feed the hunger and quench the thirst of all who come. The need to track our delicious food down on the street is no more.

With mixed emotions, we announce the closure of our restaurant. Family calls, and exciting projects await. Your support has meant the world, and we’ll miss you dearly. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Wandering Donkey & Epic Catering Concepts will still be going with some amazing ventures on the horizon! (and of course, we’ll see you at the Birds Nest!)
